Shenyang next gen combat aircraft thread

you mean CAC J-XC that flew yesterday? but the cockpit is clearly visible from the photo.

A vague picture，it could be somthing like irst，or just a blur

Not sure about the concept of CCA on carrier. Unlike land base carrier has a limited size air wing. Wouldn't it be better to maximize combat efficiency of every single aircraft a.k.a put a pilot on them?

I think that's why this CCA is so big. Essentially, this is an aircraft of same tactical value as a manned aircraft, except it can pull a 15 G maneuver if needed.

 

[gullible]

no. 草根has confirmed it as a UCAV

no i m referring to CAC plane not SAC's...
anyway isnt maintaining, operating & losing a 2-turbofan engine drone in dangerous missions too expensive & has a adverse impact on sortie rates?

Oh my bad. I was referring to SAC‘s
I have no idea how UCAV works, maybe it’s worth it

I doubt it is a tanker. Yes, there will be a stealthy tanker, but it will be a medium-sized cheap one, not worthy of the name teapot.

Stealthy Joint Surveillance jet in B21 shape？ This is from Shenyang, seems a bit small.

Do we need to reopen the 6th gen thread at this rate?? Seems like the surprises just keep coming. Or add a 's' to the title after aircraft

Latest cope on a competing website is that China managed to expedite the development process by hacking NGAD data… adorable.

Said to be the floor of SAC Exhibition Park.Look familiar？

 

[asif iqbal]

how much investment is China pouring into military aviation ?

how can they have so many Top Tier programs running side by side

this is what you get what Top State control and hard works gets things done

SAC is cooking something. this time they are going to surprise the aviation world.

the bigger platform in this image looks big as a flanker and with TVC.

Is the SAC UCAV using WS-13 or WS-10? If it WS-13 is it possible we might see similar 2D TVC on J-35?

If it is 21 m long like rumor suggests then it has to be high thrust turbofan.
